Just a little off of Whyte Ave and the Strathcona Farmer’s market is this photo opp. You can’t go into the train but you can climb up the stairs and stand on the outside of it. You can find it at 8720-104 street.

It’s close to End of Steel Park and it has some cool features like old train tracks and a graffiti background. Find it at 10310 83 Ave

I know it seems like an odd place however it’s a hidden gem! To get there park by the outdoor soccer field behind the rec centre and take a left on the path that goes to the condos.

Definitely a photo op that has to wait until the warm weather, but when they are on the pictures are awesome in daylight or at night. Find them at 10800 97 Ave
The Photographer Studio
This is a little different because it’s all inside! Prices per hour vary from $25-$40 but there are some beautiful backgrounds that can be created. There are 3 locations to choose from, depending on your needs. Get more details here!
